just some questions to satisfy my curiosity... but did Berengar introduce the phonograph, or other audio recording devices, before the making of this "movie"? I may have glossed over it, from previous chapters, but this movie was accompanied with sound, right? As far as I recall (even with all the time skips) the Reich was using telegraphy... maybe they invented loudspeakers or something to amplify sound, maybe the actors were saying their lines real-time in accompaniment to the movie playing? Sorry for being a stickler to detail and contradicting the readers' immersion... but when I was picturing this medieval movie scenario, I was thinking of the (real world) evolution of "moving pictures" starting from the black&white era, which had no sound and were accompanied by background piano music, maybe live voice actors, and not an "all in one" movie from their current technology... also trying to imagine how visual effects were made lol, how do you blast someone with a cannonball, the tricky aerial shots, amplifying sounds to fill a grand theater, heck just the powerful microphones to capture the dramatic whispering scenes and isolating the wanted sounds of a dialogue from background noise, argh... Not criticising, ffs I love the story thus far, just that this is not a "fantasy" novel with any mystery explainable by magic, instead is a technology-premised story, which is what drew me to this story in the first place.
